The Los Angeles Chargers will have a new head coach for the 2024 NFL season. Jim Harbaugh has signed with the AFC West team, but will he face his brother John and his Baltimore Ravens this year?

Several teams have opted to hire a new head coach for the 2024 season. Last year, the Chargers parted ways with Brandon Staley, prompting an immediate search for his replacement to lead the club.

It didn’t take too long for them to find a new head coach. The Chargers were able to seduce Jim Harbaugh with a lucrative deal, and he’s ready to make the team compete in the AFC West again.
